ZeroGen is a clean coal power project that aims to create cleaner power. The project is combining the technologies of Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle and Carbon Capture and Storage to produce low emission base load electricity.

The project is a significant step forward in helping us manage and utilize the non‑renewable resources we have now in a more effective manner.

WorleyParsons has been contracted to provide evaluate and define phase services in the development of process design and infrastructure and conformation of the optimization studies. These services will culminate in the completion of a front-end engineering and design package for the project. WorleyParsons’ Brisbane office will complete the work using workshare with the Power center of excellence in Reading, Pennsylvania, which has had involvement with similar projects.

Through benefits such as accelerating the deployment of large‑scale low emission coal power plants in Australia and around the world, and providing a secure source of base load electricity supply with low CO2 emissions, the ZeroGen Project is helping to preserve coal exports and the sustainability of the Australian coal industry and reduce the impact of climate change. As such it exemplifies the EcoNomics™ principle of delivering profitable sustainability.
